. MILK-BOTTLE PITCHER ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 28 1912.

Application filed 'August 22; 1911. Serial No. 645,439.

To all whom it may concern:

' e it known that I, EDWARD H. J UNGCLAS, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and resident of Cincinnati, county of Hamilton, and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-BottlePitcher Attachment-s, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in milk bottle pitcher attachments,and has for an object to produce a pitcher attachment'whichmay bequickly and securely attached to an ordinary milk bottle.

Another object is to produce a milk bottle pitcher attachment whereinmeans are provided for removing and replacing the paper stopper of thebottle, as often as desired.

A further object of my invention is to produce a milk bottle pitcherattachment wherein means. are provided for hermetically sealing thebottle, after its contents have been partially removed.

These and other objects are attained vby the means described in thefollowing'specification, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, inwhich- Figure 1 is a side elevation of an attachment, embodying myinvention, parts thereof being shown broken away. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of a stopper remover.

The attachment comprises a body portion 1, a hinged lid 2, and a diskremover 3.. The body portion comprises'a circular ring and a spout. Thering is of a diameter intermediate in size between he external diameterof the mouth of a milk bottle of standard size and the interna diameterthereof.

Integrally formed with the ,body portion and extending downwardly fromthe circular lower part, is an a'nnular series of springs 4, adapted toengage the rim 5 of .the bottle neck. From the inner wall of the bodyportion, and located above the springs, is an internal annular ring 6,

against which rests a packing ring 7.

Hinged to the body portion, by means of spring-hinge joint 9, is the lid2, which-is adapted to close the mouth opening of the body portion 1."-The lid is provided with a thumb piece 18, for raising itconveniently'. In the lidis an opening 11,'so located as to registerwith the center of the bottle opening. Opening 11 is surrounded with areinforcing lug. Within opening 11',

and adapted to reciprocate therein, is a paper-stopper or disk remover,comprising a plate 13, a spindle '14, and a winged-handle 15. Projectingfrom the underside of plate 13 are pointed hooks 16, which are adaptedtobe engaged with the paper bottle stopper 17 in order to remove it.

In using my attachment, it is forced over themouth of a fresh andunopened bottle, springs 4 expanding to permit this. The attachment isforced "down tight upon the bottle, -so that the packing ring 7 iscaused to contact the edge of the bottle, to prevent leakage, of thebottles contents between the attachment and the bottle. The ring ismaintained in this position by springs L The stopper remover is forceddownward upon the paper bottle stopper, and wingedhandle 15 is turned toembed the pointed hooks inthe stopper, .The stopper may be removed fromthe bottle by an upward pull.

The paper stopper may be reinserted within the bottle opening, bypushing down upon the disk remover, thus affording a positive air tightclosure for the bottle, after partially removing its contents.

What I claim is 1. A bottle; attachment of the character described,comprising a spout, depending springs integrally formed on said spoutfor removably securing the spout on the topof a bottle, a lid for saidspout and a bottlestopper remover mounted on said lid.

2. In a bottle attachment, the combination of a ring, means'forattaching it to a bottle, a lid hinged to the ring, and a bottlestopperremover consisting of a rod mounted reciprocally in the lid, andcarrying at its lower end tangs for engaging the stopper. v

3. In an attachment for bottles of the character described, thecombination of, a pouring spout means for removably' mounting the spouton the bottle, a lid for closing the spout, and a bottle-stopper removermovably mounted on the lid.

4; A bottle attachment of thecharacter described, comprising a ring,means for removably attaching the ring to the bottle, a

lid hinged to the ring, and a bottle-stopper remover movably mounted onsaid lid.

5. A bottle attachment of the character described, comprising apouringspout, a -lid hinged on said spout, and a bottlestopper removerconsisting of a rod, mounted reciprocally in the lid, and carrying atits lower end tangs for engaging the stopper.

6. A bottle attachment of the character described comprising a ring,means for removably mounting the ring on the top of a bottle, a bracemounted onthe rin extending longitudinally of the bottle. and

engaging a lateral face thereof, a spout formed on the ringalid forclosing the spout 10 and a bottle-stopper removermounted on said lid. va
